A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
WOfkmen Find a Reservoir Of Fish Oil
with Live Fish in ii.
A Full Description of the Finny Tribe
that Inhabit the Dark Cove
Filled with Grease
ALBERT LEA. Mimi, Nov. /.

ALBERT LEA. Mlnn., Nov. I.
A few weeks ago this community was ex-
cited over the discovery of natural gas on
the farm of A. q. Hazard, few miles from
this city. Yesterday another discovery was
made in the same neighborhood, which is
more wonderful if not more important The
first intimation of gaseous deposits was the
oil that covered small stream flowing
through Mr.. Hazards farm. The same phe-
nomenon had been visible for number of
years.
Saturday morning, while two men in the
employ of Mr.. Hazard were digging at the
base of a small hill whence this stream
flowed, they noticed sudden increase in the
oily deposit. They dug into what seemed to
he a natural basin in the cleft formed by two
large rocks. The evacuation made was rap
idly filled with a thin yellowish OIL and after
the hole had been cleared of debris ii filled
quite rapidly with oil which spouted in thin
Jets from the side of the basin. \ blast was
necessary for further developments. This
made an opening two feet wide in the side of
the basin showing a large cavernous hole
from which proceeded strong smell of oil.
Ii was some time before the men dared to
enter, being afraid of an explosion but Il
safety lamp was procured from an old miner,
who also volunteered 10 explore. He was
gone but few moments, when he returned
and called for pail This was furnished
and he reentered the cavern. When he
came out he had the pail full of the thin yell
lowish oil, which, free from dirt, was clear
and transparent.
But graver surprise was at hand. There
appeared to be something living in the oil
Closer examination showed that there were at
least 80 small fish swimming about in the oil
as lively and as unconcerued apparently as
speckled trout in its native stream. The fish
averaged from an inch to two inches in
length. They were of a bright yellow color
and without scales. They resembled the
fish of the river in Mammoth cave in that they
had no eyes. In all other respects save
those mentioned they were like the common
minnow. Several pounds of this wonderful
variety of the tnny tribe were taken out
An old Frenchmen. who was once engaged
in the Sardne fisheries off the coast of France,
prepared some of the fish for the table. and
declared them to be equal to the best sardines
Several scientific gentlemen are now analyz-
ing and experimenting with the oil with Il
view of asccrtaining its value.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
A MOST DELIGHTFUL SPOT
cape Small Point Destined to be a
Great Summer Resort

BATH, Nov. !.
The new hotel at Cape Small Point was
located by Gov. Bodwel and party. Satur-
day. 1t is 10 stand on the high bluff Just
south Of the Spinney farmhouse, overlook
ing the and beach--a magnificent pros
pect from the finest location upon Governor
B0dwelfs possessions here The Governor
was accompanied by Hon. Jos. II. Manley,
Ed Kicker of the Poland Spring House and
g. NJ Coombs, the Lewiston architect.
Coombs will make the plans and will 20
night to work, the present design being
seventy five room hotel, j. e. seveny-fv
rooms above the first floor, with elevator
and bath rooms. The possessions of Gov
Bodwell and those interested with him upon
Cape Small Point cover the entire beach and
high land, with the exception of portion
of the extreme point owned by Boston
shooting club that for many years he has
made annual plgrmagcs to the Cape for
the remarkable sport afforded by the sea
birds that round the point, seaward.
Mr.. Kicker, who is an expert, if there be
such thing, in the matter of hotels and
their location says that he has never seen so
fine beach apart from Long BIanch as that
of Small Point and that the location for the
hotel is simply superb A portion of the
land now held by the governor is bonded
but will probably be purchased direct. A
plan is afoot to interest capitalists in st.
Louis and it is said to be practically assured
that from fifteen to twenty of the best
families from that city will visit Small
Point and build cottages putting at least
Sjo, 600 into improvement. Hon. j. II. Man
ley will build IA $1,000 cottage there in the
spring of 1855 Mr. Il. H. Goodwin of
Bath a grandson of the late Judge Rice of
Augusta, and one of the wealthy young men
of that city, has built fine cottage near
Gov. BodwelIs and is making it his summer
home
At present, they talk of running
steamer from the New Meadows River con
meeting with the Maine Central at Iardings
Station on the Bath Brunswick branch rail
road midway between the two places The
New Meadows River is an estury of the
Scadcep easily navigable. whose shores are
picturesque and whose waters are always
smooth. 1t is a trip of less than an hour
and half They also talk of six-horse
Goa ch from Bath fourteen mile drive
with excellent country roads, through pct-
urcsquc land Steamboats, from Bath can
also make an easy trip on the outside course.
Gov. Bodwell and party returned from
Cape Small Point, Monday.

CARDS AGAINST HIM.
How Maojr Way Gambled away Home,
Friends, and Fortune.

New BRUNSWICK, \. j., Nov. I.
The case of the absc0nding Maj. A. NJ
Way is still an absorbing topic of converse
ton. He has been in Strengthened circum-
stances before this. but his friends have tded
him over. He belongs to several secret so
cicties. among which are the Masons and
Knights of Pythias About four years ago
his friends raised S24OO to help him out of
his difficulties, and he lost it by betting on
races This and poker playing were his be-
setting sins, and, although he joined the
Methodist church year ago, he did not mend
his ways. A couple of weeks ago his pastor
Rev. Mr.. l1andley made an effort to raise
money for him, but he was told to desist, and
he did so.
The Union Loan is about protected by
Ways bondsmen, but the Empire Loan, it is
said, will lose about Sl5 900. Expert Ran
dali will not finish his examination of the
books in a week, but when he does the stock
holders will be called together and the money
now on hand, between $1,000 and $1,000, will
be divided pro rata, though an effort will be
made to induce those who can afford to lose
it, to give the poorer shareholders their full
dividend. II is not known how many shares
of spurious stock Way has issued,
but he has borrowed of everyone who would
lend him money, and has feeced the citizens
and the two loans to the extent of $50, 900.
The friends of Way say they do not know
where he is.

FRENCH SPOILATION CLAIMS.
A Decision Rendered by the Court Fix
ing Limitations.

W WASHINGToN, Nov. I.
A decision in the French spolation claims
was rendered today by the Court of Claims
To the effect that the treaties of lI1S with
France have ceased, the International liza
bility ending after July :, 1898; that claims
arising after that date must be measured by
international law without regard to treaties
before in force; that American priateers
captured by France were good prizes of war
but that the possession by merchant vessels
of letters of Marque or some armament, did
not authorize condemnation by prize tribu-
mails of France; that France did not maintain
Il blockade of English possessions in the
West Indias between 1892 and 1900 to Amer
lean vessels bound to British West Indias
ports were not good prizes on the ground
that they were bound to "A blockaded or "A
beseiged port.
The Court also ruled upon allowances for
the insurance on freight and for salvage.

her death.
